Advantages: Excellent track, Classic anthem
Disadvantages: None

...Think back to the summer of 1998. 1.) Which house track do you remember most fondly? 2.) Is it one of your favourite house tracks of all time? If you answered "Music Sounds Better With You" by Stardust, for question 1, then I say 'well done, that is the correct answer'. If you answered differently, you're wrong. Actually, you're not wrong, everybody is entitled to their own opinion, but in my opinion, which this is, yours is wrong. Although there were many good tracks out at the time, such as David Morales' "Needin' U", undoubtedly, in my view, and I'm sure many others, Stardust's offering was the top tune of the summer, of the year even. If you answered wrongly (in my opinion) for question 1, question 2 does not apply to you. If you answered correctly, I am sure your answer to question 2 was 'yes'. "Music Sounds Better...

Disadvantages: Its to short.

...Usually when children are growing up they attach them selves to the latest phenomenon, for example my brother is six years old and I bet you can all guess what he’s into, yes your right Harry Potter and Spiderman. Well when I was growing up, through the late 80’s and the whole of the 90’s, while everyone else was well into take that and power rangers I was in love with The Sound of Music, a film made 20 years before I was thought of let alone born!! The Sound of Music could make me laugh, cry, happy, sad, excited, but most of all safe, and as I’ve grown older its been a very valuable tool in my life. Through the heart ache of lost boyfriends, the constant stress of exams, among other things, putting on the soundtrack and singing along as never failed in making me feel better and I’d like to share this miracle with you all...

Advantages: Great way to see Salzburg sites
Disadvantages: None

...No visit to Salzburg would be complete without a tour on the Original Sound of Music Tour especially if you are a fan of the 42 year old movie. MOVIE VERSES REALITY... It is a good way to see the main city attractions and to get out into the mountains while learning how the movie was made and the differences from the original von Trapp families life experience and to see what director Robert Wise and composers Rogers and Hammerstein did to their story. For me the Original Sound of Music Tour was truly a memorable experience but one tinged with sadness as the extremely able and friendly tour hostess exposed the movie as a bit of a fake, for me, who did not know that the real von Trapp family's life was little as it is presented in the movie. She started off by telling us we could sing whatever songs we liked from the movie, all... Read review

Advantages: All your favourite songs from this classic
Disadvantages: None, whatsoever!

...********The Sound of Music - Orginal Soundtrack******* Ever since I can remember, as a child this was usually played on the old record player, The Sound of Music - we have this still, on the 'old vinyl albums' in the house somewhere. But since we don't own a record player any more and the years have progressed since then, I wouldn't have minded this album on CD - but does such a thing exist? Yes. How could anyone go wrong with this! What a great bunch of songs. I thought this was just for the oldies and my friends took the 'Micheal' out of me when I bought this the other week, but when I played the CD to them they found every song worth listening to over and over again until they practically learned most of the words, lol The tracks are as follows....... 1. Prelude And the Sound Of Music... Read review

Advantages: A brilliant family film, suitable for all ages.
Disadvantages: Although almost flawless, some parts tend to drag.

...The hills are alive with the sound of music With songs they have sung for a thousand years. The hills fill my heart with the sound of music My heart wants to sing every song it hears. The sound of music is an outstanding musical which has stood the test of time, and is a much-loved film by everyone from children to adults. I think that there are many reasons behind the sucess of the film, including the catchy, and emotional songs, the realistic characters- which are easy to relate to, and the beautiful scenery of Salzburg, Austria. History: The Sound of Music (1965) was an exceptionally successful film in the mid-1960s - at the time of its release, it surpassed Gone With the Wind (1939) as the number one box office hit of all time. The film begins with Maria singing on the picturesque mountains, and appears to be taking... Read review

Advantages: It is a classic
Disadvantages: If you don't like this kind of films

...Right now I have finished watching this film again on TV. How many times have I seen it in my life? Uff... considering that it's on TV every year in Christmas (and I am over thirty) and that I have been having it in video for years... impossible to count. And it is that it does not tire to me. I imagine that most of you know the film, at least the name but just in case you don't know it I am going it to introduce it to you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LIST OF CREDITS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ TITLE ORIGINAL: The sound of music PRODUCER: Argyle Enterprises for Twentieth Century Fox PRODUCER: Robert Wise and Samuel Chaplin DIRECTOR: Robert Wise INTERPRET: Julie...
